N2  - The increasing global demand for sustainable energy has spurred innovation in biodiesel  production, particularly in tackling significant challenges like the precipitation of sterol  glucoside (SGs), which can hinder the fuel performance in colder climates. This study  explores the preparation and characterization of a hybrid calcium oxide impregnate silica  (CaO.SiO2) adsorbent made from natural waste materials, including seashells and rice  husk. Advanced characterization methods such as FESEM, BET, FTIR and TGA  confirmed the adsorbent’s mesoporous structure, thermal stability, and chemical  composition, making it effective for SGs adsorption. Batch adsorption experiments  revealed an optimal SGs removal efficiency of 83.42% under specific conditions (4.5%  loading, 60℃, 60 minutes). The adsorption treatment significantly enhanced the quality  of biodiesel, lowering the acid value from 0.937 mg KOH/g to 0.561 mg KOH/g and  improving the oxidative stability by reducing the iodine value to 41.80 g/100g. These  results highlight the potential of eco-friendly, waste-derived adsorbents to effectively  tackle the biodiesel purification challenges, contributing to greener and more efficient  energy solutions while supporting waste reduction and sustainability initiatives
